How do I prepare for a regulatory audit of AI agent systems?

Answer

Audit preparation checklist:

1. Agent inventory — complete list with risk classifications.
2. Policy documentation — written governance policies mapped to applicable regulations.
3. Technical controls evidence — kill switches, HITL gates, access controls in production.
4. Compliance scan history — historical evaluation results showing trends.
5. Incident log — governance failures, detection method, and remediation actions.
6. Bias and fairness reports — ongoing monitoring results.
7. Retention compliance — evidence that data retention policies are enforced.
8. Certification — AICAP passport or equivalent attestation. Having this generated automatically from your governance platform dramatically reduces audit prep time.
